Old Fort Supply Cemetery
On US 270 at East side of Fort Supply
Woodward County, Oklahoma

Note: Bodies of old soldiers formerly buried here were moved to
Leavenworth, Kansas. The fort was officially closed in 1895 and was placed in the custody of the Department of the Interior. It was later ceded to the state of Oklahoma for use as a mental hospital. The first patients, several hundred, arrived in Tangier by train in 1908 and were transported by car to the hospital.
